Blood Pressure Control and Anthropometric Differences in Afro-Descendants and Other Ethnic Groups in Hypertensive Brazilian Populations.
Article in Global heart, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The prevalence of hypertension (HT) and blood pressure (BP) control varies among ethnic-racial groups, but studies on this issue and correlations between BP and body mass index (BMI) in the black Brazilian population are scarce. Methods: Cross-sectional study in individuals included in the First Brazilian Hypertension Registry. Relationships between variables were analysed by a binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The study evaluated 2.191 (82.9%) non-Afro-descendant participants and 452 (17.1%) Afro-descendants. The median age was 61.9 years (55.3% women), the BMI was 28.4 kg/m² and the waist circumference (WC) was 93 cm in the former cohort. In the Afro-descendant group, the median age was 62.5 years (57.5% women), the was BMI 29.8 kg/m² and the was WC 98 cm. A significant correlation was identified between BMI and office diastolic BP (DBP) ( Conclusion: No correlations were found between office BP, BMI and WC, except for a very weak correlation between DBP and BMI in the Brazilian Afro-descendants, although they were 1.40 times more likely to be obese. In contrast, a significant correlation between SBP and BMI was observed in the non-Afro-descendants. Differences in blood pressure control were not identified between the sexes within each group, but only between ethnic groups, with people of African descent having a 1.49 times greater risk of uncontrolled hypertension compared to non-Afro-descendants.
